What To Expect

Washington State Ferries

After being picked-up at your Seattle hotel or vacation rental in our Mercedes van, we'll take the scenic Washington State ferry to Bainbridge Island. Enjoy complimentary drinks and pastries as you take in sweeping views of the Seattle skyline and Puget Sound.

Bloedel Reserve

Our first stop on Bainbridge Island is the beautifully manicured estate of the wealthy Bloedel family. Prentice and Virginia Bloedel created this 150 acre forested reserve with an eye for conservation and aesthetic beauty. We’ll take a guided nature walk around the property to enjoy the lush gardens and varied landscape.

Bainbridge Island Japanese American Exclusion Memorial

After lunch, we’ll delve into island history at this National Park Service site, where we’ll learn and reflect upon the local history of Japanese-American internment during World War II.

Bainbridge Vineyards

We’ll spend the afternoon visiting two Bainbridge Island wineries with excellent wine and fun atmospheres. Bainbridge’s wine scene has taken off in recent years and is now filled with friendly down-to-earth producers who have a clear passion for their work. The culture is relaxed, educational, and unpretentious. All tasting fees are included in the tour. For beer lovers, we're happy to substitute a tasting flight at Bainbridge Brewing at our second stop.

Can't really say enough good things about our day trip with Daniel to Bainbridge Island. Because he grew up there, he was able to provide lots of insight into things we wouldn't have gotten with just 'any' tour guide. Once we arrived via ferry, the day went by quickly as we strolled through the beautiful gardens and got to see first-hand the Japanese internment memorial. The lunch was amazing!! A feast of multiple tasty dishes that are not the standard box lunch you would expect on a tour like this. The wineries he took us to were lovely boutique-type operations with very tasty wines and info from the owner/winemaker at one of the stops. Daniel made sure everyone on the trip was well cared for and he explained in detail everything that was planned and what was coming next. Do yourself a favor and book your tour with Yonder Sky. You won't be disappointed!

Great trip. Daniel was very personable and professional. Was very knowledgeable about the area and it’s history. The lunch was wonderful and fun - quality of a 4 star restaurant. Wine tasting was also fun and interesting. Highly recommend this tour with Daniel or Matt.

We did the Bainbridge Island tour on June 8 with Daniel and it was beyond our expectations. We were picked up (on time!) from our hotel in a well-kept, spacious vehicle, and were immediately welcomed by Daniel. The ferry ride provided some great views of the city, and we were provided with hot beverages and pastries for the ride. The hike through the Bloedel Reserve was beautiful, and was done at a pace that suited everyone in our group of 7. Lunch was served on a beach, and consisted of chicken, salmon, a variety of salads, and fresh baguette - absolutely delicious!! The wineries that we visited had great ambiance, and included with the tour was tastings at each. Overall experience was fantastic and Daniel was very knowledgeable - I would highly recommend this tour.
